Go For Silver
If I know I'm going to be engaging in high risk blue collar behavior I will sometimes pop a few non-steroidal anti-inflammatory devices before I start. Or other times I will pop them right after, before the pain starts. It's called beating the pain cycle. It works pretty well and I highly recommend it. I haven't been doing anything too challenging though and as it turns out I don't have any pills here anyway. Thought I did, but don't. Which is fine because I'm not in pain.
Funny thing happened on the drive down. Just driving along and out of nowhere--ping, crack, there goes my windshield again. Was not driving behind a gravel truck or on an especially beat up stretch of road, nothing really obvious that might have come up off the road, and I was for awhile thinking space debris or random bb gun firing or something, who knows? I honestly can't remember going a full year without getting a cracked windshield. If I can I will go through an inspection with a cracked windshield but at that point the crack grows big enough to not pass inspection I will get the windshield fixed. I had this one fixed, oh, about a year ago, maybe less. If I don't get a windshield fixed I won't get another ding. This trend has been going on for, it seems about the last five or six years. It was happening when I drove the Mazda truck and it has been happening with the Jeep. On the Jeep I have also had the back window repaired recently. Grass cutting accident at Mt. Pleasant, mower picked up a chunk of gravel from the driveway and knocked out the back glass real good.
I'm drinking a Red Stripe beer. Actually I am feeling a little pain. Or trying to beat a pain cycle. Guess ole Claypool figured if I said he didn't have to run his mowing tractor over my lawn, then he just wouldn't. And the yard was looking a little ragged. If my lawn were a head of hair and the dirt was the scalp, it would have a bad case of scabies or some similar skin disease which made hair/grass fall out in clumps. I was out with the weed eater just now trimming up the tufts and it picked up a piece of gravel and knocked the holy shit out of my back window on the Jeep. If bad luck with windshield glass was an Olympic sport I would be a gold medalist. There would be no one as good as me, not even close. I don't see any point in being modest about it. I am the best. If you want to compete with me in this arena you should shoot for no higher than silver.
